Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do blacks identify with the Christian religionof their oppressors?Source: Diane Rehm Show guest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why do blacks identify with the Christian religionof their oppressors?Source: Diane Rehm Show guest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important aspect of the relationship between the president and the secretary of state is that they both understand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33283]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important aspect of the relationship between the president and the secretary of state is that they both understand who is president.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I dress for women and I undress for men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2849]]></link><description><![CDATA[I dress for women and I undress for men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delay is hateful, but it gives wisdom ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Delay is hateful, but it gives wisdom]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65336]]></link><description><![CDATA[True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14278]]></link><description><![CDATA[When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many trails up the mountain, but in time they all reach the top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23378]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many trails up the mountain, but in time they all reach the top.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation. . . the other eight are unimportant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28013]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation. . . the other eight are unimportant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Very obviously, they've pitched well - not making mistakes, living on the corners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Very obviously, they've pitched well - not making mistakes, living on the corners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme, Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46746]]></link><description><![CDATA[For florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme, Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're a good team.
